Die größte Art von Widrigkeiten in der Kindheit, mit denen Kinder konfrontiert sind, ist zu Hause. 61 % der Teenager gaben an, zu Hause „von einem Elternteil oder Erwachsenen herabgesetzt oder beleidigt zu werden“ („emotionaler Missbrauch“). Eltern mit einer besseren Selbstregulierung sorgen für mehr emotionale Sicherheit und haben eine bessere Bindung zu ihren Kindern.

Abstract

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are preventable, potentially traumatic events occurring before age 18 years. Data on ACEs among adolescents in the United States have primarily been collected through parent report and have not included important violence-related ACEs, including physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. This report presents the first national prevalence of self-reported ACEs among U.S. high school students aged <18 years, estimates associations between ACEs and 16 health conditions and risk behaviors, and calculates population-attributable fractions of ACEs with these conditions and behaviors using cross-sectional, nationally representative 2023 Youth Risk Behavior Survey data. Exposures were lifetime prevalence of individual (emotional, physical, and sexual abuse; physical neglect; witnessed intimate partner violence; household substance use; household poor mental health; and incarcerated or detained parent or guardian) ACEs and cumulative ACEs count (zero, one, two or three, or four or more). Health conditions and risk behaviors included violence risk factors, substance use, sexual behaviors, weight and weight perceptions, mental health, and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Bivariate analyses assessed associations between individual and cumulative ACEs and demographics. Adjusted prevalence ratios assessed associations between cumulative ACEs and health conditions and risk behaviors, accounting for demographics. Population-attributable fractions were calculated to determine the potential reduction in health conditions and risk behaviors associated with preventing ACEs. ACEs were common, with approximately three in four students (76.1%) experiencing one or more ACEs and approximately one in five students (18.5%) experiencing four or more ACEs. The most common ACEs were emotional abuse (61.5%), physical abuse (31.8%), and household poor mental health (28.4%). Students who identified as female; American Indian or Alaska Native; multiracial; or gay or lesbian, bisexual, questioning, or who describe their sexual identity in some other way experienced the highest number of ACEs. Population-attributable fractions associated with experiencing ACEs were highest for suicide attempts (89.4%), seriously considering attempting suicide (85.4%), and prescription opioid misuse (84.3%). ACEs are prevalent among students and contribute substantially to numerous health conditions and risk behaviors in adolescence. Policymakers and public health professionals can use these findings to understand the potential public health impact of ACEs prevention to reduce adolescent suicidal behaviors, substance use, sexual risk behaviors, and other negative health conditions and risk behaviors and to understand current effects of ACEs among U.S. high school students.

KEY POINTS

– In a CDC study, high schoolers reported that most childhood adversity they face comes from within the home.

– Parents, increasingly overwhelmed and stressed, are not meeting the emotional needs of their teens.

– To help teens, parents must lower their reactivity by addressing their own problems and unhealed wounds.

– Parents with better self-regulation provide more emotional safety and have better connections with their kids.

In a first-of-its-kind study, the Centers for Disease Control asked teens to self-report the adversities they faced in their lives and to examine how those adversities affected them. As described in the Center’s report of October 10, 2024, the study found that not only are high schoolers today experiencing high levels of adversity, the number-one type of childhood adversity they face is at home. Sixty-one percentof teens said they experience “being put down or insulted by a parent or adult at home” (what researchers call “emotional abuse”). An equally worrisome finding of the study, Adverse Childhood Experiences and Health Conditions and Risk Behaviors Among High School Students, is that 28% of high schoolers said they live with a parent who is struggling with depression, anxiety, or another mental health disorder (what researchers call “household poor mental health”).
